Fabrizio Romano has reported that Liverpool has reached a ‘deal in principle’ with Bayer Leverkusen for their star player, Florian Wirtz.
The German talent has been expected to join Anfield for a while, but the two clubs were engaged in discussions regarding the final transfer fee. However, it now seems that all involved have reached a consensus.
According to the reliable journalist Romano, the transfer fee is set to be around €150m (£127m). He shared this information on social media, stating:
Following their triumph in the 2024/25 Premier League, Liverpool has made a swift commencement to the summer transfer window.
Although Trent Alexander-Arnold has departed for Real Madrid, the club successfully secured €10m from Los Blancos, who were eager to acquire the Englishman prior to the Club World Cup.
In his stead, Jeremie Frimpong has already finalized a transfer to join the squad.
Additionally, another star from Leverkusen is set to accompany the Dutchman at Anfield, with Wirtz’s transfer nearly confirmed.
The German player, regarded as one of the most valuable talents in international football, merely needs to undergo a medical examination and sign the final documents before being officially presented as a Liverpool player.
Furthermore, Bournemouth’s left-back Milos Kerkez seems to be on the brink of making a move as well.
As the initial summer transfer window approaches its closure on June 10, it appears that the Reds have secured several significant deals ahead of the reopening of the main window on June 16.
